snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] start snort in IDS mode I wonder if you have the rules directory in the correct place. you should have: /opt/snort/etc /opt/snort/rules in the snort.conf file: # Path to your rules files (this can be a relative path) var RULE_PATH ../rules this goes up one directory from etc to rules. if you copied the rules to the etc directory then change the RULES_PATH to reflect this. -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of Plantier, Spencer Sent: 10 February 2005 14:17 To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] start snort in IDS mode I got IDS to start but I got the following output: opt/snort/bin/snort -c /opt/snort/etc/snort.conf -i hme0 Running in IDS mode Initializing Network Interface hme0 --== Initializing Snort ==-- Initializing Output Plugins!
